Chapter 1: Off to the Platform
Hermione Granger awoke to the angry beeps of her alarm clock. 'Smack!' 'Alright, alright I'm up,' She thought to herself. Just as she sat up to push the covers off, her mum walked in.
"Oh good dear, your up!" She said walking over to the window and opening the blinds. Hermione winced as the sunlight met her eyes. "We don't want you to miss the train for your last year do we?" She said turning around to face Hermione, who still looked half asleep.
"No, I don't want to miss the train," Hermione mumbled laying back down.
"Hermione! Get up and get ready! I'm sure Draco, Harry, Ginny and Ron will be waiting." Her mother said. 'Hmm Draco,' Hermione thought, a smile playing on her lips. Her mum raised an eyebrow.
"Ok, well go get ready and then come downstairs. Your father is making breakfast." She said and left the room.
"Hermione stretched then rolled out of bed and headed down the hall to the bathroom. After a quick 20 minute shower, she got out and wrapped herself in a big white fluffy towel.

'Hmm, what to wear?' She thought as she stood in front of her closet. She picked out a pair of nice jeans and a tight, but not to loose, black t-shirt. After she got dressed she headed back down the hall to the bathroom.
As she was drying her hair she was busy thinking about how this was her last year at Hogwarts. 'I'm going to miss everyone. I hope we keep in touch,' She thought. 'But I can't wait to see Harry, Draco, Ron and Gin.'
She finished drying her hair, which was no longer frizzy, as she had found a new way to dry it so it went nice and hung in loose curls down to her shoulders. She applied some cover up, a bit of eyeliner and grabbed her favorite chap stick and headed down stairs.

"There you are Hermione! It's about time, breakfast is getting cold," Her father said passing her a plate.
"Sorry, what's for breakfast?" She asked. "Bacon and eggs. Hurry Hun, we have to be leaving shortly if you want to get there early." "Mmhmm, speaking of leaving. I'm don't think I'm going to leave Hogwarts at Christmas. Draco's not going home and it's our last year. Is that ok?" "Are Harry, Ron and Ginny staying too?" "Ginny probably is, and Harry and Ron don't know if they are or not yet." "Alright, that's fine."
Hermione quickly ate the rest of her food, making her look much like Ron at every meal. She said, "All done," and ran out of the room to get her trunk and Crookshanks.
"That girl," Her mother said as Hermione flew out of the kitchen. "Well, I guess that mean's were going?" Her father said. "Guess so," And with that, they both left the kitchen to go wait at the front door for Hermione.
---
'Hmm, do I have everything?' Hermione asked herself as she ran around her room looking for last minute things she forgot to pack. 'Guess I do," She thought. She grabbed her trunk and Crookshanks and headed for the stairs.

Hermione's parents were waiting patiently at the door when they heard the 'thump thump thump!' of Hermione dragging her large trunk down the stairs.
"Ready!" She said brightly. "Alright, let's hit the road!" her father said laughing and opening the door.
'I can't wait!' Hermione thought as the car pulled out of the drive way and toward Kings Cross station.

"Draco Malfoy! Hurry up! So you want to end up being late and miss the train?" Narcissia said as Draco finished packing some things. "I won't miss the train, Mione will make sure it doesn't leave," He said as he ran about his room grabbing books and robes that were thrown around.
Narcissia rolled her blue eyes. "Just because she would more then likely hold the train for you," She started. "Doesn't mean that you can take your sweet time and not pack the night before!"
"I did pack the night before, and now I'm finishing." He said smirking. "Don't get smart with me mister," She said pointing a finger at him. "You better be downstairs and ready to go in 10 minutes!" She said heading to the door.
She stopped suddenly and turned. "And don't make the house elves carry your trunk either!" And with that, she marched off leaving Draco to rush around and finish packing.
'She's making a big deal out of nothing,' He thought. 'Although I would have liked to leave early so I could catch up with Hermione alone for a bit.'
He walked over to his bedside table. He picked up a picture of Hermione and him standing outside Hogwarts the last week of sixth year. 'I got to remember to thank that Creevey kid for this,' He shoved the picture into his trunk.
5 minutes later he made his way down to where his mother was waiting. She looked at her watch.
"9 minutes and 7 seconds. Not bad." She said grinning at him. "You were really timing me? Bloody hell!" He said then grabbed his trunk and headed for the car.
"Boys," Narcissia muttered, then grabbed her keys and followed Draco out the door.

"Ron, Harry and Ginny! Come on! Were going to miss the train!" Mrs. Weasley screeched. "It's already 10:30! Come on!"
Suddenly 3 teens and there trunks could be heard bounding down the stairs, and in seconds were in front of Mrs. Weasley.
"Sorry mum," Ron said his ears going red. "Oh it's all right, let's get to the car. Quickly now," She said as she ushered them outside.
"Our last year." Harry said. "Bloody hell, I still can't believe it." Ron said. Ginny laughed. "I still can't believe you passed!" "Shut up Gin." Ron muttered. Harry and Ginny laughed, while Mrs. Weasley just smiled.

Well there you have it.
Not to eventful but oh well.
Draco's a little out of character, but I planned to make him that way. Some of the other characters will be O.C.C too. Anyways, review!
Till next time, Bye bye.
